dogmc Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Was really enjoying this tonight but ending just felt like they'd completely run out of ideas on how to finish it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kind of hoping for the usual Sherlock actually being in control all the time as in their brief encounter he had acknowledged his sisters main flaw or something . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I was kind of hoping for the usual Sherlock actually being in control all the time as in their brief encounter he had acknowledged his sisters main flaw or something . I think they've reached a natural point to end the show on now. I'd hate for them to try to milk another series. The 2nd episode was much better than the first and this one started really well....but the end was very weak bordering on anti climax. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I already feel like I need to watch it again to pick up the details.I love the show, but it is very frustrating at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Enjoyed it [emoji4] Liked the nod to the Musgrave Ritual with the riddle, the directions etc. I read recently that they are meant to have signed for a series 5 and I'm glad as this felt like a final finale, I'd be worried it was ending otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree , I think if anything a film would be a good final instalment of the programme . One last major case of sorts where it is all about them solving the case without having to carry a storyline into all episodes , I just think that trying to get another series out of it might just be too much as it stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talk but they say that nothing is certain . I think there may be life left in the series yet but as I say a film might be a good idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Fucking hell. That was harrowing. Spoilers don't appear to work on the mobile, so consider this your SPOILER WARNING!I thought moments of tonight's episode which were exceptional, but there were some things that just didn't sit right with me: I hated the fact that they kept on trying to make us believe that Moriarty is still alive; it's been made very clear that he's dead, so the fact that they kept on trying to trick us was annoying. I really don't think Eurus is redeemable after that, and the way they wrapped her story up was a bit anti-climactic. She killed a wee kid, manipulated so many people and tried to kill her brother(s). Mary capping the series off was so fucking pointless, too. Despite this, I thought it was a great episode. It was edge of the seat stuff throughout, but the fact that - as far as I recall - nothing meaningful actually happened, and the show could start next series with everyone in the exact same spot without this episode meaning anything annoyed me. There was definitely a sense of finality there. Will it go on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 What the actual f**k was that? It was like fucking saw for horror movie parts.The truth about redbeard has left me feeling emotional as well. I'm confused and I don't know if I liked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I feel the same way about Sherlock as I do about Still Game. I want it to be good and remind me why I used to like it, but it just isn't very good anymore. In fact, it's shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It's not just shite it's exceedingly smug which doesn't work when the ending of it is a load of nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I felt like that was one of the greatest episodes of TV ever absolutely fucking ruined by the explanation and ending.What a waste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Jenkins Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hate to say, I think it completely disappeared up its own arse last night. Just about turned off when that Moriarty p***k turned up again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider this your SPOILER warning to people as I am on mobile aswell This, she went through all the trouble of organising what seemed to be the return of moriarty , pretended to be a stranger on the bus who fancied John to make him possibly cheat on his wife , pretended to be his therapist and shot him with aTranquilliser , pretended to be a client of sherlocks , blew up his house , nearly made John or mycroft kill an innocent man in order to spare his wife even though she killed the wife anyway , nearly made Sherlock kill Watson or mycroft ,threw John down a well , revealed she killed sherlocks other brother because they would not play pirate games with her and in the end it all seemed to be just because she wanted someone to play the violin with . As as I said it was great for the first seventy minutes , outstanding probably but it lacked that moment in the end where Sherlock has it Sussed , I was expecting it to be from the bit where he first meets her and she asks him to look at her and he maybe noticed something which had him in control the whole time or the bit where he is knocked out to work out in his mind what the five minute conversation between her and moriarty would have been like or something Edited January 16, 2017 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it was the moment he realised Eurus song referred to the headstones but I think it should have been bigger. I have been reading some of the reviews and comments on the papers (I know, I shouldn't !) its almost universally slated but the funny thing is that most surround "unexplained" plotholes which are completely well explained within the programme. i.e one reviewer complained they didn't know how Eurus got out of prison to attack Holmes and Watson, I mean surely that's obvious? I wonder how much people actually pay full attention to things these days or how many people watch with one eye glued to the internet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie I was gutted when the return of moriarty turned out to be nothing more than a flashback . was thinking here we go , shit is about to get real 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
